Yours LG washing machine I finally finished rinsing, quickly drained the water from the drum, but for some reason the washing machine didn't want to spin the laundry. rotates the drum The washer runs as it normally would during a rinse or wash cycle, but it can't reach the spin speed. After several unsuccessful attempts to spin, it freezes, stops spinning, and displays the UE error.
If your LG washing machine is not equipped with a display, this error is indicated as follows:
- All spin indicators light up at the same time or flash.
- LEDs 1, 2, 3, and 4, 5, 6 light up or flash simultaneously
What does the UE error mean on an LG washing machine?

This error code indicates that your machine was unable to rationally distribute the weight of the drum relative to its axis of rotation. Do not confuse UE and uE errors.
If the error begins with a lowercase "u," it means your washing machine is attempting to resolve the problem itself by adding a little water and redistributing the laundry. This error is informational and does not require your intervention. An error that begins with a capital "U" indicates that, despite all efforts, the machine has failed and is asking for your assistance.
The UE error could be caused by various minor issues or more serious malfunctions. It's worth noting how often this error occurs. If it occurs intermittently, it's likely nothing serious. However, if the error occurs during every wash cycle, your machine likely has a serious problem.
You can fix the UE error yourself in the following cases:
- It's possible that you've simply overloaded your machine, or, conversely, loaded it with too little laundry. In this case, the washing machine simply won't be able to wring out, as the system that controls the drum's weight distribution prevents it from doing so. Try loading the laundry more evenly, and perhaps the error will disappear.
-
Solving the Ue error Try opening the machine and rearranging the load more efficiently. Perhaps the washing machine wasn't able to do this for you.
- Make sure your machine is perfectly level and does not wobble.
- The problem could also be with the machine's control unit. Try letting it "rest." Disconnect the power for a few minutes and then turn it back on. This may help if the error occurs for the first time.
